Slow dismemberment followup
It's been nearly a month since the last "Slow dismemberment" update, and I wasn't expecting to find anything left of the sad bicycle remains locked to a street sign in downtown Riverside. Nevertheless, I was hopeful to find at least something left as I came around the corner from the Transit Center terminal.

Eureka! It's still there. Well, still mostly there. Here's the last picture from May 20th:

What was left of the chain is now gone. The dismemberment continues. More updates as they happen.

Slow dismemberment

Preview of new blog: The No No Project
From About The No No Project.
The premise of the project is quite simple:
Walking around town, you’ll see sign after sign forbidding you from performing healthy outdoor activities. Skateboarding. Cycling. Walking for the love of Mike. It goes to show what’s really important in this society: keeping things comfy for sedentary property and car owners who would deny you your god-given right to breathe outdoors!
So I take pictures of all the signs telling me not to exercise.
In case it isn’t clear, this is very much tongue-in-cheek. I’m just amazed how much effort is put into making verboten what are otherwise wholesome diversions.
In some indirect way, I’m also trying to connect the dots on what are often disparate cultures — cyclists and skaters, for example — to show we are united against The Man Trying to Keep Us Down more than we are apart.
See Submissions if you’d like to join in the fun. You can send me email at robert at the domain name nonoproject.com. Thanks for checking out The No No Project.

Oh, the delicious irony!

Perhaps a last meal before I get to the part in Fast Food Nation where Eric Schlosser talks me out of eating it ever again?
